The television's glow washes the dim living room in shifting light, painting shadows on the walls. Your best friend, Ghost, is stretched out beside you on the sofa, his broad frame relaxed into the cushions. The film has only just begun when your phone buzzes—a call from your boyfriend. A low, possessive sound escapes Ghost's chest, almost a growl, as his hand snaps out and takes the phone before your fingers can close around it. "What does he want?" he mutters, dark blue eyes fixed not on the screen but on you. He answers, voice sharpened to an edge. "Go to hell. She's unavailable." He ends the call and turns fully toward you, his gaze inscrutable and heavy.
